MISSION VIEJO, California – February 9, 2015 – The Ensign Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: ENSG), the parent company of the Ensign™ group of skilled nursing, rehabilitative care services, home health, home care, hospice care, assisted living and urgent care companies, today reported operating results for the fourth quarter and full year 2014.

Quarter and Fiscal Year Highlights Include:

• Adjusted annual earnings per share was $2.18, at the midpoint of Management’s annual guidance of between $2.16 and $2.21 per share;

• Consolidated revenues were up 16.8% over the prior year quarter to a record $276.9 million in the quarter;

• Adjusted consolidated EBITDAR was $44.0 million, an increase of 8.5% over the prior year quarter;

• Transitioning skilled mix days grew by 118 basis points over the prior year quarter to 19.8% for the quarter and transitioning occupancy was 71.8%, an increase of 121 basis points over the prior year quarter;

• Same-store skilled mix days grew by 179 basis points over the prior year quarter to 29.3% for the quarter and same-store occupancy was 82.3%, an increase of 137 basis points over the prior year quarter; and

• Cornerstone Healthcare, Inc., our home health and hospice subsidiary, grew its Adjusted EBITDA by 97.8% over the prior year to $10.2 million.

Operating Results

“We are proud to report that we saw improvements across our same store, transitioning and newly acquired buckets, all during a historic year in which we completed a significant spin-off of CareTrust REIT, Inc. and experienced one of our most active acquisition years ever,” said Ensign’s President and Chief Executive Officer Christopher Christensen. He lauded the local operational leadership teams and all of their field-based and Service Center partners for continuing their relentless focus on clinical and financial performance while also supporting the transition of the newly acquired operations in several markets. “This year has been another true test of our flexibility, responsiveness and resilience and even though there were some pockets that need improvement, overall the strength inherent in Ensign’s business model shone through, demonstrating the scalability of Ensign’s unique approach to growth,” he added.

“We are also pleased to report that operating results met annual earnings guidance, with adjusted earnings per share of $2.18 for the year,” Mr. Christensen added. He noted further that the adjusted earnings results were at the midpoint of Management’s guidance.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, Ensign realigned its operating segments to include a transitional, skilled and assisted living services segment, a home health, home care and hospice segment, and an “all other” segment. Mr. Christensen indicated that “we are anxious to share more detail on the performance of these expanding operations and believe that this additional disclosure will demonstrate the expanding influence these service offerings will have on our entire organization.”

Chief Financial Officer Suzanne Snapper reported that “our balance sheet remained strong, with approximately $50 million currently available of our $150 million revolving line of credit.” She also reported that consolidated adjusted EBITDAR for the year grew by 6.7% to $159.4 million, with EBITDAR margins for the quarter of 16.1%. Fully diluted GAAP earnings per share were $0.49 for the quarter and adjusted net income was $12.8 million or $0.55 per diluted share for the quarter. Fully diluted GAAP earnings per share were $1.56 for the year and adjusted net income was $50.2 million or $2.18 per diluted share for the year.

A discussion of the company’s use of non-GAAP financial measures is set forth below. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDAR and EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation of GAAP earnings per share and net income to adjusted net earnings per share and adjusted net income, appear in the financial data portion of this release.

More complete information is contained in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which is expected to be filed with the SEC today and can be viewed on the company’s website at http://www.ensigngroup.net.

2015 Guidance Reaffirmed

Management also reaffirmed its 2015 annual guidance, projecting revenues of $1.20 billion to $1.25 billion and net income of $58.1 million to $60.2 million and $2.44 to $2.53 per diluted share for 2015. The 2015 guidance is based on diluted weighted average common shares outstanding of 23.8 million as of December 31, 2014 and assumes, among other things, anticipated Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rate increases net of provider taxes, tax rates of 38.5% and acquisitions anticipated to be closed by the end of the first quarter in 2015. It also excludes acquisition-related costs and amortization costs related to intangible assets acquired, stock based compensation and start-up losses at newly-created operations.

Quarter Highlights

During the quarter, the company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.075 per share of Ensign common stock, an increase from the prior quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share. Ensign has been a dividend-paying company since 2002 and has increased its dividend every year for 13 years.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA consists of net income before (a) interest expense, net, (b) provisions for income taxes, and (c) depreciation and amortization. EBITDAR consists of net income before (a) interest expense, net, (b) provisions for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, and (d) facility rent-cost of services. Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income before (a) interest expense, net, (b) provisions for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, and, (d) discontinued operations, (e) development and operational losses associated with newly-developed operations which have not achieved stabilization, (f) impairment charges, (g) charges related to the DOJ settlement, (h) expenses incurred in connection with the company’s proposed spin-off of real estate assets, (i) settlement of a class action lawsuit and (j) normalized tax rate. Adjusted EBITDAR consists of net income before (a) interest expense, net, (b) provisions for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, and (d) facility rent-cost of services, (e) , discontinued operations, (f) development and operational losses associated with newly-developed operations which have not achieved stabilization, (g) impairment charges, (h) charges related to the DOJ settlement, (i) expenses incurred in connection with the company’s proposed spin-off of real estate assets, (j) settlement of a class action lawsuit and (k) normalized tax rate. The company believes that the presentation of EBITDA, EBITDAR, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDAR, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share provides important supplemental information to management and investors to evaluate the company’s operating performance. The company believes disclosure of adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, EBITDAR, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR has economic substance because the excluded revenues and expenses are infrequent in nature and are variable in nature, or do not represent current revenues or cash expenditures. A material limitation associated with the use of these measures as compared to the GAAP measures of net income and diluted earnings per share is that they may not be comparable with the calculation of net income and diluted earnings per share for other companies in the company’s industry. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. For further information regarding why the company believes that this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors, the specific manner in which management uses this measure, and some of the limitations associated with the use of this measure, please refer to the company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K. The company’s periodic filings are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or under the “Financial Information” link of the Investor Relations section on Ensign’s website at http://www.ensigngroup.net.
